New in Vienna: Top Openings of 2025

We crave new spots in Vienna just as much as you do - that’s why we’ve put together a fresh lineup of places that are guaranteed to hit the spot. Think new openings, hidden gems, and restaurants giving the city a well-deserved breath of fresh air.

From the creators of OMK and Mochi comes a new fried chicken concept with a Japanese twist. Chicken Karate serves crispy chicken thighs with tangy Nanban sauce or a veggie-friendly Tonkatsu-style eggplant burger. Add Dirty Fries or Kimchi Salad on the side — casual, bold, and unmistakably Mochi-style.

A hybrid jewelry studio and café where you design and craft your own piece while sipping coffee. Minimal, light-filled interiors set the stage for guided sessions (perfect for dates, birthdays, or friendly meet-ups), plus a short menu of coffee and sweet bites. Book a table in advance; workshops run in small groups for a hands-on, personal experience.

A stylish yet playful bistro that blends comfort food with a modern twist. The concept revolves around culinary imagination — combining Mediterranean, Asian, and Austrian influences in colorful, artful plates. In the morning, it’s a calm spot for specialty coffee and breakfast; by evening, it transforms into a lively terrace bar with creative cocktails and tapas-style dishes. The warm lighting, vinyl soundtracks, and laid-back rhythm make it a cozy meeting place for creatives and food lovers alike — urban, personal, and effortlessly cool.

A bright, minimalist café where transparency and simplicity define the mood — both in design and flavor. With large glass facades, clean lines, and natural light, Café Glas embodies the essence of Vienna’s new coffee culture. Expect high-quality espresso, small-batch pastries, and a calm environment ideal for slow mornings, laptop work, or quiet reading.

A Viennese classic reborn — the historic Beisl at Naschmarkt has reopened with a fresh concept by Jing Chen, combining timeless Austrian charm with modern culinary ideas. Open all day, Sophelr now offers refined market-inspired dishes, natural wines, and a weekly Chef’s Table where local produce meets creative technique. The mood is elegant yet familiar — a place where tradition, craftsmanship, and innovation blend naturally into the rhythm of Vienna’s most iconic market.

A community-focused specialty coffee brand known for its playful tone and precision in brewing. BERT Coffee combines urban energy with a minimalist aesthetic — think clean design, uplifting playlists, and expertly made flat whites. “Be Right There” is not just a name, but a concept of being present — in taste, in moment, in connection.

Nature-to-table and produce-driven, with an Italian-leaning sensibility. Seasonal vegetables, open-fire notes, and house preserves show up across a concise menu that changes with the day’s produce. An intimate Inner City address for thoughtful plates, good wine, and unhurried evenings.

Dim sum meets cocktail bar: handmade dumplings, gyoza and SEA-inspired small plates paired with creative, crafted drinks. A cozy, low-lit spot for a late dinner or a long night of tasting “Asian tapas” and unexpected flavor pairings just off Naschmarkt.
